The estate
Founded in 1797 by Jean Latour in Aloxe-Corton, the Maison Louis Latour has upheld a Burgundian family heritage for over two centuries. Heir to a cooperage tradition dating back to 1731, this independent house owns the largest domain of Grand Crus in the Côte d'Or. Managed by the heirs of Louis Latour, it combines viticultural expertise and cooperage mastery on prestigious parcels.
The vineyard
The "Les Suchots" climat is located in the appellation Vosne-Romanée, in the heart of the Côte de Nuits. The pinot noir vines, averaging 30 years old, are rooted in a ferruginous limestone subsoil. Hand harvesting ensures the selection of exceptional grapes with a controlled yield of 38 hectoliters per hectare.
Winemaking and aging
Winemaking is carried out traditionally in open vats, followed by a complete malolactic fermentation. Aging takes place for 10 to 12 months in French oak barrels with medium toast, 40 % of which are new oak, all from the Louis Latour cooperage.
Grape variety
This wine is made exclusively from pinot noir, the emblematic grape variety of Burgundy’s great red wines.
